Pharmacology

Iron is an essential constituent of hemoglobin which carries oxygen to the blood. Iron absorption occurs in the upper intestines, but the bioavailability of iron for absorption is affected by many factors. Polysaccharide iron is a complex of ferric iron and carbohydrates. IronUp is formulated to increase bioavailability and decrease adverse symptoms.

Clinical Information

According to the clinical report, “Diagnosis and Prevention of Iron Deficiency and Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Infants and Young Children (0-3 Years of Age)” published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in November 2010, iron deficiency is the most common single-nutrient deficiency in the world and iron deficiency anemia continues to be a common cause of anemia in young children.¹

At the National Conference & Exhibition of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Frank Greer, MD, FAAP, former chair of the AAP Committee on Nutrition and co-author of the clinical report mentioned above, was quoted as saying “Iron deficiency remains common in the United States, and now we know more about the long-term, irreversible effects it can have on children’s cognitive and behavioral development. It’s critical to children’s health that we improve their iron status starting in infancy.”

Despite the increased use of iron-fortified formulas and iron-fortified infant foods since the 1970’s, recent studies have shown the following¹:

Iron deficiency occurs in 4% of 6-month-olds and 12% of 12-month-olds.

Iron deficiency occurs in 6.6% to 15.2% of toddlers, ages 1 to 3 years old, depending on ethnicity and socioeconomic status.

There is a higher risk for iron deficiency in preterm infants, breastfed infants, and infants at risk of developmental disabilities.

Additional information and iron supplementation guidelines for infants and children can be found on the American Academy of Pediatrics website.

Finally...an Iron Supplement that my son can tolerate!

Posted by Unknown on 3rd Jul 2017

My son was diagnosed as being anemic. His doctor was very concerned about his low iron level. He would recommend a supplement, we would try it, and he would get severe stomach pains. -And this is how it went over and over until his specialist recommended Iron Up. We are so grateful that we have finally found a supplement that he can tolerate!!!
